Chapter 229
Shi Sunrui calmly explained, "Your Majesty, Yuan Shao's confidant is Gongsun Zan, who is good at cavalry combat. He was able to suppress Gongsun Zan in Yi County because he had Liu He and Qu Yi as generals. Liu He inherited his father's legacy, He won the favor of the scholars and people in Youzhou. Qu Yi is familiar with the tactics of cavalry and cavalry, and he is the best at restraining Gongsun Zan. Together, Gongsun Zan will have no success in battle, and there will be no food for the rules, so he has to be trapped in a corner of Yi County."

Liu Xie nodded and motioned for Sun Rui to continue.

"One of the reasons why Gongsun Zan has been able to support him until now is that Yuan Shao could not trust Liu He. He was worried that Liu He would follow his father's will and turn his heart to the imperial court and become his enemy. If Your Majesty can pay Liu He with Youzhou, Yuan Shao must be suspicious. , dare not use Liu He again. If Liu He wants to avenge his father, he must turn against Yuan Shao."

"Then Liu He and Gongsun Zan can live together?"

"No, so Your Majesty can accuse Gongsun Zan of murdering a minister without authorization, demote him in rank, and conscript him as an envoy to the Xiongnu Zhonglang to punish the Xiongnu's rebellion. Gongsun Zan has gone against the grain and the people have betrayed their relatives. If he can leave Youzhou, he will definitely obey his orders."

Liu Xie thinks it is reasonable, at least it is worth considering.

Although he knew that Shi Sunrui's main purpose was to prevent him from personally attacking the Huns.

"Let me think twice about this matter." Liu Xie said: "Let's talk about the expansion of the Northern Army first."

Shi Sunrui saluted and said, "Only His Majesty orders."

"In the melee in the Kanto region, the imperial court has only a small number of households and limited household registration, but there is no shortage of cavalry. I am thinking about whether to restore the old system of Xiaowu and increase the five schools to eight schools?"

Sun Rui rejoiced in his heart.

Although the emperor seems to have misunderstood the Eight Schools of Xiaowu, his idea of ​​restoring the old system of Xiaowu is good.At least it shows that he doesn't fundamentally reject the Taiwei Commander and Situ Zhimin, but he just doesn't want to go too hastily.

"Use force in troubled times. It is naturally a good thing for Your Majesty to expand the Northern Army. As for whether to use the name of the Eight Schools, I think it can be discussed. However, for the immediate matter, it is necessary to expand the infantry and the two battalions of Shesheng first. To guard the mountains and rivers, the infantry Pawns and archers are the most powerful."

Liu Xie nodded in agreement.

This is an old saying.

Hedong is his foundation.Keeping Hedong means nothing to him.

Since it is defense, it is natural that infantry and crossbowmen are the most important.

He also thought so, that's why he transferred the soldier Sun Rui to the Northern Army Zhonghou, and let him be in charge of the expansion and training of the entire Northern Army.

Following the example of Zhao Qing and his son, he has recruited nearly a thousand people from Anyi.These people lack military quality, not many have served as soldiers like Zhao Qing, and most of them have no combat experience, and they are here for rewards from officials.

Donating a few stones of grain, the court not only rewards the officials, but also guarantees the basic daily rations. Such a good thing is rare in a thousand years.

In addition, Liu Xie also fell in love with the Baibo army, a source of soldiers with greater potential.

The Baibo Army has tens of thousands of people, and it is not a problem to pick out three to five thousand young men, and they can also be expanded to the Northern Army.

If you want to bring out the fighting power of these people, training is essential.

After talking with Liu Xie for more than half an hour, Shi Sun Rui was overjoyed.

He was worried that Liu Xie's small victory would be arrogance, and he was determined to conquer the Xiongnu and was eager for success. He just rushed back to see him after finishing the finishing work of Fan's family.Now that he saw Liu Xie's arrangements for the future, he felt that he could rest assured.

Even if he went to Meiji, Liu Xie would not fight.

He was still the emperor who faced Li Jue, with both courage and patience.

Either do not make a move, and a shot is a fatal blow.

-

After bidding farewell to the emperor, Shi Sun Rui immediately went to see Yang Biao.

Yang Biao was talking to Yang Xiu.

Yang Biao stood in the corridor with a serious face and some foam on the corner of his mouth. It seemed that he had said a lot just now.

Yang Xiu stood at the bottom of the steps, arched his hands, shrunk his head, but his expression was somewhat disapproving.

Seeing the scholar Sun Rui coming in, Yang Xiu bowed his hands and saluted, said "I'll go to the kitchen to see", and then hurried away.

Yang Biao cursed a few words "Zhuzi" indignantly, and stretched out his hand to motion for scholar Sun Rui to sit down in the hall.

"Jun Rong, why hasn't your son come yet?"

Even Sun Rui couldn't tell.He had already written to his son Shisun Meng, who had gone to Jingzhou to seek refuge, and asked him to come and serve him, but Shisun Meng had no news of him, and he didn't know what happened.

"What crime did Dezu commit again? He didn't suffer for me, did he?" Shi Sun Rui said half-jokingly.

"What does it have to do with you?" Yang Biao said angrily, "Didn't he bring [-] Confucian scholars to work as teachers in the rear general camp? I just learned that they withheld some money and food from the land tax handed in by the Yi clan. , These [-] teachers have been paid. Isn’t this a mess, the ministers have not received their salaries, and some of their teachers have taken them first.”

"Does His Majesty know?"

"I don't know yet." Yang Biao snorted, "This guy is getting bolder and bolder. If I don't scold him, can I save it for others?"

Shi Sunrui smiled and said, "Then I would like to persuade you a few words."

"Advise me?"

"Wen Xian, to the soldiers in the battalion, you and I may not be as popular as these twenty teachers."

Yang Biao was greatly surprised.

He may not believe Yang Xiu's words, but he will not easily doubt Shi Sun Rui.

Shi Sun Rui recounted what he saw.

After the Battle of Huayin, a large number of new soldiers were recruited from the Weiwei Battalion and the five schools of the Northern Army, some of them were from Dong Cheng's subordinates, and some were from the Xiliang Army.

Compared with others, Dong Cheng's subordinates undoubtedly have the highest self-esteem.

They regarded themselves as disciples of the emperor.

The basis for their saying this is that the emperor had discussed the war with them at the beginning.

It is said that it is a joint discussion, even if they talk more, the emperor talks less.But they prefer to regard it as the emperor teaching them to fight, and regard themselves as the emperor's disciples.

After hearing this, Yang Biao felt like waking up from a dream. "No wonder the Son of Heaven ordered Dong Cheng to act as a guard. It turns out that there are still such things."

"Yes, but I don't think Dong Cheng himself may be aware of this. He went to take over Wei Wei's camp, and he was very uncertain."

Yang Biao curled his lips and said nothing.

Dong Cheng is a waste, but the emperor is so clever that he actually used this waste.

After going around in a circle, Dong Cheng became a Wei Wei, which was a result that none of them expected before.

Yang Biao rolled his eyes, and said immediately, "Weiwei Battalion is like this, and the Fifth Northern Army School must be no exception."

"At least the Infantry and Shesheng Battalions are like this." Shi Sun Rui nodded.

Yang Biao's face changed slightly. "So you didn't miscalculate, but did it on purpose?"

Sun Rui shook his head. "I'm just worried that the chaos in the east of the river will affect the overall situation. In the past few years, the imperial court has rarely had a chance to breathe. How could it be impulsive and cause trouble again. I just let it go. I feel sorry for Wenxian."

"And!" Yang Biao dismissed it. "You are willing, but I am reluctant? Shi Sun Junrong, in your eyes, am I the one who loves the stack?"

Shi Sunrui laughed out loud, and pleaded guilty.

Yang Biao waved his hand, stroking his beard and pondering for a long time, then said: "The Son of Heaven has far-reaching intentions, and he is creating an overall situation that you have never imagined. At such a young age, you have such scheming, and you don't know if it is a blessing or a curse."

"The big picture? Where do we start?"

"Junrong, you have been busy fighting these days, and some things are still unclear." Yang Biao said quietly: "The emperor mentioned the matter of enlightenment many times, and I thought it was a free speech. Looking at it now, I'm afraid he didn't just talk about it. That's all, but I really want to turn all the people in the world into disciples of the Son of Heaven."
